Hot Veggie Dip with Veggie Chips

Today, we’ll talk about some awesome veggie chips AND you get a new recipe inspired by these veggie chips that perfectly compliments them (or anything really!) It’s a Hot Veggie Dip, delicious dip made with fresh veggies, cream cheese, Swiss cheese…oh and it’s served warm! Yummo!

I usually don’t like to walk through the chip isle because of all the temptation. See, I’m a sucker for chips and if I walk through the isle, I know something will magically appear in my cart. It’s the weirdest thing…it’s like they know!

A few months ago, I noticed a new chip as I was walking through the grocery store. As with most new products, they placed it on the end cap of the isle and I stopped dead in my tracks when I saw it. “Veggie Chips from Green Giant? For real?! Oh, I must try it…”

I did and now I treat myself to some veggie chip goodness when I have a craving! I love chips and having a healthier version is great.

I tried two flavors of the Green Giant Veggie Chips: Barbecue Sweet Potato Chips and Garden Ranch Tortilla Chips. I’m so happy they make it two out of three of my favorite flavors, all that’s missing is the sour cream and onion flavor!

Sweet Potato Chips are made with real sweet potatoes, which is a big plus, they are packed with multigrain and they have 40% less fat than regular potato chips! Can I get a “woot-woot” for healthier and less fat?!

I absolutely LOVE tortilla chips. They are perfect for dips because they tend to be thicker and taste much better than potato chips (to me, at least.) The Green Giant veggie tortilla chips are made with real vegetables, whole grain and naturally flavored!

So naturally, when I got some of these veggie chips, I needed to make a veggie dip to go with it! Personally, I like hot dips much better than cold dips, so that’s where my mind goes first. I was making this up as I went and randomly pulled stuff from the fridge. Hubby always tells me that my best recipes are the ones that I don’t plan but just do! He is so right because this was DELISH! I’m just happy that I remembered to write it down as I went because I often forget to do that.

I made this dip Saturday for my potluck party. It was an instant hit, and it was wiped clean in no time at all! I substituted a hot sauce for the Worcestershire sauce (as we like our food really spicy). Served it with crackers (as they were handy). Thanks for the recipe.
